Dirk van den Bosch, Managing Director, DigitasLBi, commented: “Offering outstanding customer experience is an immense opportunity for organizations to get ahead in the game right now. In our connected world this means designing channel experiences that make sense, and can also be changed rapidly without losing consistency, regarding branding and targeting. We see this partnership as opening up a whole new world of opportunities for DigitasLBi and Hippo to challenge what is currently possible and drive future innovation.”
Jeroen Verberg, CEO and co-founder of Hippo, commented: “DigitasLBi and Hippo share a lot of common ground. Both our companies were born in the years when the world wide web just hit mainstream, grew up inside the internet industry, and are also both defined by the focus on helping our customers get prepared for ‘What’s Next’. Now that our fields of expertise are intersecting in the current customer experience industry, becoming partners, not only makes perfect sense, but also makes me look eagerly forward to what our united efforts will accomplish for our joint and new customers."
